In this chapter, Atrosis, Dr. Drakken, and Perry are going to be in deep hairy trouble. You think they'll get out of this one? Well, status quo is kind of god. But still.
I hope you have fun reading this chapter. I have fun writing fanfics. Do you? It's OK if you haven't written a fanfic yet. I know I wasn't a fanfiction writer when I came here. Though that did change sooner or later.
After this arc, I think it'd be safe to say we won't be seeing any more mood swings for a while.
I got a request to continue this fanfic, so I will. For now.
Chapter 37: Burning with Anger
"Is there an off switch for this?" asked one of Dr. Drakken's henchmen.
As it turned out, Cyrus Bortel had included an off switch for the Moodulator this time.
He didn't want a repeat of what happened with Kim Possible and Shego.
That…and he wanted to save on batteries.
He decided to turn it off.
"Whew!" exclaimed the man.
This would make the Moodulator not run out of juice.
Professor Dementor and Atrosis were on a date. He had suggested that, and the latter decided to give it a try. It felt a bit weird dating her employer though.
Atrosis was wearing a strapless yellow dress (which looked like the one Belle wore), and Professor Dementor was wearing a red tuxedo suit.
She was still wearing her gloves…she felt a bit weird without them. Just as Dementor didn't like taking off his helmet.
"I like hanging out with you, but shouldn't we get back to taking over the world? I don't think it's going to conquer itself, and we don't want Dr. Drakken to conquer it first." noted the woman.
On the lighter side, this date was making her feel calmer than she usually was.
It was a pleasant feeling.
She was afraid of Dr. Drakken, because he had placed a few cacti in his lair recently. It wasn't hard for her to imagine why. So she didn't want him to win.
"Vhy vould ve do zat vhile on our date?" asked Dementor.
"Well, I like to think of the future and not just the present." answered Atrosis.
The drinks the henchmen gave them were wickedly delightful. Just as they should be.
Suddenly, Professor Dementor turned back to normal.
"Vhere vas I? Ve need to take over ze world!" exclaimed Dementor.
"I thought you wanted to go out on a date with me, but I'm glad you remembered. We both enjoy that, am I right?" asked the woman.
"Yes…wait, we were on a date?" questioned the man.
"You forgot that? I like this dress, but I'm not the type of person who would wear this for no reason. And we're sitting at a table." answered Atrosis.
Dementor scratched his head.
"No matter. If you want to take over the world, be my guest!" exclaimed Atrosis.
"Vhy is zis starting to remind me of ze of Beauty and ze Beast?" asked Dementor.
"It's reminding you of Beauty and the Beast? Why is tha-"
She then remembered what she was wearing.
"Oh." realized Atrosis.
Dr. Drakken and Shego were also having a date. Dr. Drakken questioned it, but he was glad that Shego wasn't tossing fireballs at him.
They had agreed to a fancy restaurant.
The behavior was unusual. This seemed like something Atrosis would do, not Shego.
How he envied Professor Dementor.
And yes, even though it was Shego whose skin was green (kind of like Gill), Drakken was the one who was feeling envious.
However, Shego suddenly turned back to normal.
"Huh? What's going on? Why am I wearing a dress?" asked Shego.
It resembled the one she wore during So the Drama…but maybe she could recall that without breaking the fourth wall.
Suddenly, the waiter gave them the bill.
Shego was not happy with how expensive it was.
Her hands began to glow and she destroyed the table.
Dr. Drakken was both relieved and yet frightened.
Well, hopefully Shego would act in character for a while, even if he needed to wear a protective suit to keep him safe.
We now return to the evil laboratory.
After putting on their evil business uniforms again, Atrosis and Dementor were planning to use a weather machine.
"Didn't Dr. Drakken already try this? I found the mission on Kim's website. Though I will admit it was fun to watch him fail." noted Atrosis.
"It's a new and improved veather machine!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
"Oh! Well, maybe sometimes we can try ideas more than once. I know that Doofenshmirtz once tried the same evil scheme twice if with different machines." noted Atrosis.
Neither of those machines had worked though.
Suddenly, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable entered the secret lair.
"Ah, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable! I've been expecting you." answered Atrosis.
"I vasn't! Zis lair is top secret!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
"Well, it was until you built that giant statue and placed it outside the main building." noted the supervillainess.
It really drew people's attention.
"I figured it vould make people fear me!" exclaimed Dementor.
"I never said I didn't like the statue, I just think it should have been inside the building." noted Atrosis.
"Oh…I'm actually starting to like your criticism…it's veird, but true!" shouted the professor.
"Huh. I guess I'm not the only one who refuses to follow the "blondes are dumb" cliche." remarked Ron.
"I might as well be smart given who I work with." answered Atrosis, pointing to Professor Dementor.
"Pretty good logic." answered Kim.
"So, are you ready to fight? I really like the routine we have here." noted the woman.
"Of course." nodded Kim Possible.
"Zis time, I shall help you with my latest invention!" exclaimed Dementor to Atrosis.
"Ooh! What is that?" asked Atrosis.
"Why such fangirl?" questioned Rufus.
"You're wondering why I act like an excited fangirl all the time when Professor Dementor comes up with another evil plot? Well, something tells me that if I acted exactly like Shego, somebody wouldn't find it to be as funny or original. So I'm going with the opposite." noted the woman.
"Somehow makes sense!" exclaimed the naked mole rat.
"I suppose it does." nodded Atrosis.
"Now…what was the invention?"
Professor Dementor pulled out the Bondo Ball.
"Not that again!" exclaimed Kim Possible. That bondo ball caused her a lot of grief.
"That thing is scary." noted Ron.
"Zis is my latest one! Let's see how vell you fight vhen you're stuck together!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
Atrosis was expecting him to throw the ball right then and there…but he didn't.
It turned out he was monologuing.
"Might as well allow him to finish." noted the woman.
Kim, Rufus, and Ron nodded.
"I'm really proud of zis one. Vhat vill I think of next?" asked Dementor.
Atrosis noticed the Bondo Ball was starting to wobble.
"I'd like to see how Dr. Drakken and Shego vill deal vith my next one. I think I can use it to vin against zem!"
The Bondo Ball was now starting to shake.
"Um, Professor Dementor…" said Atrosis.
"Vould you please not interrupt me vhile I am monologuing? It is my heart and joy!" asked Dementor.
"I assure you, I normally wouldn't, but-"
The Bondo Ball was really starting to be slippery.
"Do you want to tell him, or should I tell him?" asked Kim.
"Tell him what?" questioned Ron.
Kim pointed to the Bondo Ball.
"Oh, the Bondo Ball! Hey, Professor Dementor! You're about to drop that invention of yours!" exclaimed the blonde.
"Vhat are you talking abo-"
Suddenly, he dropped the ball, and an orange mist appeared.
"Orange mist this time?" asked Kim.
"Hey look, it matches both Professor Dementor and Atrosis's colors!" exclaimed Ron.
"Cool!" remarked Rufus.
Sure enough, Dementor and Atrosis were now merged at the knee.
"Vell, zis did not go as planned!" exclaimed Dementor.
"Wouldn't be a first for us." noted Atrosis.
"Vhat are ve supposed to do now?" asked the man.
"Oh, don't worry too much." comforted the woman.
Atrosis stretched herself out at the waist.
"See? We can both still have some alone time. Though we don't spend much of that, do we?" asked Atrosis.
"True. It's lucky I didn't end up being bonded vith Dr. Drakken. Zhat vould be horrible." noted Dementor.
"At least it wouldn't be Shego." agreed Atrosis. She scared her sometimes.
"I wish I had that kind of luck." remarked Kim.
"Me too." nodded Ron.
"Right then, given my stretching powers, I think we can still make this fight work…though for the sake of fairness you might want to handicap yourself a bit…" suggested Atrosis.
"I can avoid using a few styles of kung fu…" noted Kim Possible.
"Let's get this party star-wait a minute. If I'm bonded with the professor at a molecular level…does that mean…" questioned the young woman.
"Huh?" asked Rufus.
"Professsor, would you mind if I do an experiment of my own? I know you're the science guy around here, but-"
"Vhy not?" answered Dementor.
Atrosis rubbed her hands on her face, then rubbed her belly, then rubbed her hands together.
"I wonder what she's doing." noted Ron.
"I'm not sure, but I think it might be something important." answered Kim.
Atrosis went to grab a warm towel (stretching her waist once again) and then rubbed it on her face.
"Does zhat feel good? Or is zere another reason you did zat?" asked Dementor.
"It does feel good. But there is another reason. I want to know if you're feeling any of this." said Atrosis.
Suddenly, Dementor began to feel warm water on his face.
"I am feeling it!" exclaimed Dementor.
"I figured that might be the case. When the bomb merged us together, it also synchronized us." noted Atrosis.
"Huh?" asked Rufus.
"He feels what I feel." answered Atrosis.
"Oh!" exclaimed the naked mole rat.
"So, if Kim beats you up…" spoke Ron.
"…I beat up the professor, too." noted Kim.
"Now you know what the problem is." answered Atrosis.
"It's like a voodoo doll?" asked the boy.
"It's more science than magic, but yes, it IS like a voodoo doll." noted the woman.
"I'm a man! I can take it!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
"I'm proud of ya, but only one of us is basically made of rubber. And if you by any chance end up wearing a body cast, how are you going to take over the world? You won't be able to build inventions!" shouted the woman.
"Her logic is pretty sound." noted Kim.
"You're right! Since you can't fight, ve should cut our losses and maybe sell zis invention before Kim Possible destroys it!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
"I like your thinking. Maybe Kim Possible will still feel like she saved the world since she indirectly caused us to be bonded together." noted Atrosis.
Kim nodded.
Atrosis and Professor Dementor sold the weather machine to Hench Co online.
Kim Possible, Ron, and Rufus left afterwards.
"You're as soft as a marshmallow!" exclaimed one of Dementor's henchmen to Atrosis, due to her compassion for her boss.
His name was Steve.
She looked at him.
"You do realize that Dementor gave me authority over all of his minions, right? That means I can alter your job status as I see fit." answered Atrosis.
She wasn't wrong.
"Uh-oh! Don't dock my pay an hour!" bellowed Steve.
"Thirty minutes." said the woman.
"Thank you!" exclaimed the man.
"You're welcome. Besides, I like marshmallows." admitted Atrosis.
Dementor admired the money they had made off the machine, which would be transferred to his account shortly.
"You know, I seem to recall you saying that was your latest Bondo Ball. You might want to consider making an unbonding solvent in case you make a mistake with your next one as you did with your last one." noted Atrosis.
"You're right, I should do zat…vait a minute! I already did make an unbonding solvent! And I just sold the weather machine!" exclaimed Professor Dementor.
"You did? Really?" asked the woman.
He screamed.
"We all make mistakes. Like Shego did when she attacked you." answered Atrosis.
"I'm going to remember zat fondly." remarked Dementor.
"Well, I think we've more or less wrapped this arc up." said the man in the clouds who was typing on a keyboard.
Suddenly, one of his advisory angels gave him an advice.
"What's that? Kim and Shego went on a metaphorical destructive rampage near the end of Emotion Sickness? You want to see something like that again? Well, given this chapter is long enough as it is…it's not going to be a long, destructive rampage. There will be a sad scene though leading up to it…like in the actual show." spoke the man who was the narrator.
Shortly after Atrosis and Dementor were unbonded, he suddenly began to cry.
"Vhy must you reject my love?!" exclaimed the professor.
It simply wasn't fair.
Unfortunately, the moodulator had been turned on again.
Dr. Drakken's henchman was unhappy that somebody had eaten all the donuts in the donut box, so he set it to a blue sad face.
"It seems odd that you're crying after being unbonded from your invention. And it's a bit odd you're not crying about the weather machine. I'm not rejecting your love. I just wanted to remind you that we should remember to take over the world. Gee, I didn't mean to make you cry…" noted Atrosis, putting her hand on her chin.
She might be bad, but she wasn't insensitive.
The henchwoman could only hope that the professor would be alright.
Besides, he had a paycheck he was planning to give her.
And he couldn't give it to her if he went to his room crying.
Suddenly, the henchman decided to change the face on the Moodulator to angry. Why couldn't he have any of the donuts?
Elsewhere, Drakken ended up being attacked by Shego again.
"Not again!" exclaimed Drakken.
It was time for him to run, like he did when he noticed a police car.
"How dare you reject me! You are about to face ze wrath of Fleur Dementia!" exclaimed Dementor.
"I remember that one." noted Atrosis.
"I might need to subject you to my brain machine to remove zat memory." explained the professor. What if Drakken found that out? He would never let him hear the end of it.
Drew Lipsky wasn't that much better though.
"Does it hurt?" asked the woman.
"No. You just feel a faint tingling sensation." answered Fleur.
"Whew!" exclaimed Atrosis.
"I can also use it if I vish to remember something…and I just remembered something now! Robots, seize Atrosis! I am about to deduct her salary by 10%!" shouted Dementor.
Several robots appeared. They did not look friendly.
Atrosis screamed and left the base.
It was lucky she had memorized the layout of the lair at that point.
It was best to run as far as she could…if she wanted to keep her current salary.
Perry decided to return to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.
He wanted to study the chip attached to Doofenshmirtz.
Major Monogram might want to know about it.
However, he found that Dr. Doofenshmirtz was surprisingly acting normal on a security camera of his bedroom.
He was taking a snooze.
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus." murmured Doofenshmirtz.
Perhaps he had come back to his senses.
He sighed in relief.
But when he was about to return home, Dr. Doofenshmirtz showed up again.
Perry wondered what he was doing outside late at night.
"You've really made me angry, Perry the Platypus!" exclaimed Doofenshmirtz.
Considering how many times Perry had thwarted him, maybe that wasn't such a big surprise. They had over 100 battles, but Perry was a bit hazy about the 100th one. Did they have a video of it?
Dr. Doofenshmirtz drank a strange formula.
Perry wasn't sure what it was...
...but it looked evil. You couldn't expect less from a mad scientist, really.
He got into a fighting stance. Something told him things were about to get dangerous. Though he wasn't exactly a stranger to danger. He had nearly gotten buried alive in cake mix once. That had been very scary. Though cake mix was the last thing one would expect to be buried alive in.
Suddenly, Dr. Doofenshmirtz began to mutate.
Perry's eyes began to widen.
This was getting scary really fast.
For starters, he was growing taller.
In addition, fangs sprouted from his mouth.
He became much more muscular, too.
And of course, his lab coat was now torn. But that probably wasn't a big deal. Perry had seen his closet a few times and he was not in a short supply of them.
Perry wasn't sure if he could take him on. Even though he had more or less trained since birth how to rumble.
Something told him that Dr. Doofenshmirtz now had superhuman strength. Kind of like Shego. He had fought her before.
So he decided to flee.
Luckily, he was good at hiding. He had been trained in that field, not just fighting. OWCA preferred versatile agents.
If he wasn't so good at disguise, his cover as a secret agent would have been blown a long time ago. And then he would be separated from his family. That would pain him very much.
Fortunately, he knew that if he simply took off his hat, Dr. Doofenshmirtz wouldn't be able to recognize him.
So he decided to take it off for the time being.
Dr. Drakken hid in a dumpster, which was conveniently empty.
However, though he was not currently in danger, he was not alone either.
"You're hiding too, huh?" asked Atrosis.
He had company.
"Atrosis? What are you hiding from?" questioned Dr. Drakken.
He wasn't expecting his arch competitor's closest colleague to also be hiding in a dumpsrer.
"I'm hiding from Professor Dementor. He's acting insane!" exclaimed Atrosis.
"He's a mad scientist. Were you expecting him to not act that way?" asked Dr. Drakken.
He imagined that Shego would act surprised if he suddenly stopped laughing wickedly, assuming she would ever return to her senses.
"I know that, but he's acting insane in a way I'm not used to!" clarified the minion.
"How so?" asked Drakken.
"I don't know what's gotten into the professor. He's super angry all of a sudden." noted Atrosis. Had Kim Possible thwarted his plans one too many times? That would make any mad scientist feel angry.
"The same thing's happened to Shego." said Dr. Drakken. At this rate his pants were going to be on fire. Green fire.
"Well, that's not TOO surprising." remarked the lady in yellow. It seemed like she was angry a lot of the time. She recommended that Shego take a chill pill.
On the other hand, Atrosis didn't recall the last time that she herself was angry. Though she had gotten irritated with a minion recently.
Atrosis checked to see if the coast was clear.
It appeared that neither Professor Dementor or Shego were present at the moment.
In other words, they were safe.
Even so, Atrosis decided that she wasn't going to take any chances.
To her knowledge, Professor Dementor was still hunting them. And he wasn't going to give up the chase easily.
She decided it would be best if the two of them left the scene.
"There's no sign of Shego or my boss. Let's make a break for it!" exclaimed Professor Dementor's right-hand. It seemed as good of a time as any.
Dr. Drakken nodded. Professor Dementor wasn't too wild about him, either. It would be best if they got out while they still can.
"I wish you were my right-hand woman." noted Dr. Drakken. It was surprising how helpful she was in this drastic situation.
"Feeling blue tonight? Oh wait, I don't want to be insensitive of your skin condition." remarked Atrosis.
"I assure you, I'm in perfect health. Even if my psychiatrist said I was out of my mind." answered the man.
Suddenly, Atrosis noticed something.
"Huh?" asked the supervillain.
Dr. Drakken gasped.
There was an army of robots approaching them.
Evil robots.
Dr. Drakken and Atrosis screamed.
It looked like Professor Dementor had been busy working in his factory.
Where exactly was he getting so much metal?
"That is a huge amount of robots..." remarked Atrosis.
"I wish I had an army like that..." spoke Dr. Drakken. Nobody would be able to stop him that way. Unless they destroyed his control tower.
Why did Professor Dementor keep upstaging him? It was hurting his evil cred.
Well, he could ponder that when his life wasn't in danger.
"Those robots are going to lower my salary!" exclaimed Atrosis.
"I bet it's going to be small potatoes compared to what they do to me!" shouted Dr. Drakken.
"Yeah….they're going to make you black and blue." noted the woman.
"I'm already black and blue." answered the scientist.
"I was thinking a different kind of black and blue." explained Atrosis.
Dr. Drakken gulped.
They decided to continue running, but they encountered the mutated Doofenshmirtz.
"How are we going to get out of this?" asked Atrosis.
Fortunately, Perry showed up to help them.
He used his semi-aquatic mammal of action skills to take down some of the robots.
It was an unusual experience.
"Aren't we, you know, enemies?" asked the elastic supervillainess.
She was still grateful for his help, though.
Perry noted that was the case.
But he figured that since they weren't doing anything evil at the moment that he would help them.
Though he did wonder what was going on.
"Graaarrrrgghhh!" exclaimed the mutated Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Perry was afraid that he would find him, personally. Was there any place he could hide from the monster? Going to his owner's house seemed like a pretty bad idea at the moment.
He could take off his hat and hide again, but other people might be in danger from the mutated monster. It was his duty to protect the innocent. And he had no intention of abandoning that duty.
That included Phineas and Ferb, his owners.
He couldn't simply leave them to their fate.
Was there a way to stop Doofenshmirtz?
He always seemed to stop him, but things seemed different this time. If he fought Doofenshmirtz in this state, he might end up needing to go to the vet.
Maybe he could ask Carl for help?
He knew a thing or two about science.
Luckily, Carl never considered joining LOVEMUFFIN despite that.
He was simply too loyal to Major Monogram.
About as loyal as Perry himself was to the major, to be honest.
Maybe Perry would be a leader himself one day? To be fair, he had always been a field work type of guy. He might have been a platypus, but he wanted to stay active.
Alternatively, the formula might wear off on its own.
But just in case, Perry asked Carl for help.
Atrosis and Drakken were glad that Perry had diverted the monster's attention…
…but they werr attacked by their respective grudge holders.
Both of them screamed and ran in different locations.
Dr, Doofenshmirtz crashed through the wall of the room Carl was in…which had a nice potted plant. He had followed him.
"Sheesh! The last thing Monogram needs is mutants rampaging through his halls! Take this!" demanded Carl.
He tossed a water balloon at Dr. Doofenshmirtz…
…that contained an anti-mutagen.
In the process, the chip popped off.
"My clothes are all torn! I'm going home to change." noted Doofenshmirtz.
Doofenshmirtz left.
Shego chased Dr. Drakken down a sidewalk.
She had found him, unfortunately. Could he not hide?
"Is this going to be the rest of my life?" asked Dr. Drakken.
Luckily, Shego tossed a fireball at a fire hydrant.
The fire hydrant short-circuited the chip.
"Where am I? And why is my hair wet?" asked Shego.
Dr. Drakken sighed in relief.
Shego went to go find a hair dryer.
"I really hope I don't experience any more of this emotion sickness." remarked Drakken.
When Perry returned, Phineas and Ferb noticed that Perry was worn out.
Hopefully Perry would get a day off after this.
He deserved it.
Regarding Atrosis, she found herself surrounded by the robots.
"I have nowhere to run, do I? What am I going to do?" asked the woman.
"Your salary is going to be reduced now!" exclaimed Dementor.
Suddenly, she noticed the chip stuck to Dementor's face.
"Wait, is this what is causing all your mood swings? I should take that off, though the date was nice. I'm going to remember that." noted Atrosis.
She took the chip off of Dementor.
"Vhere am I?" asked the professor.
"You went extra psycho and tried to decrease my salary." answered Atrosis.
"Vhat happened to me?" questioned Dementor.
"It's a long story. But considering that there were a lot of worse things that you could have done, maybe your brain is deciding eho you are, not just your emotions." noted Atrosis.
"Right…of course." answered the man.
Atrosis was glad her employer was back to normal.
She wasn't used to him being such a terrible employer to her. Well, relatively terrible. Ten percent wasn't that much. She liked to think that she was her boss's employee of the month.
Though considering how big and strong the rest of his henchmen were, she might have some competition in that department.
She was going to take the day off tomorrow…with Dementor's permission, of course.
Meanwhile…
"Is it just me, or was this arc not that focused on Kim and myself? It seemed more focused on the villains…and Perry the Platypus." noted Ron.
Hana was playing with a Perry the Platypus plushie.
"Maybe the author wanted to try something different. You think it worked?" asked the blonde boy.
Hana looked around.
"I guess you're right. We'll have to wait and see." nodded Ron.
Meanwhile...
"How am I going to get into this temple?" asked Monkey Fist.
He was outside a temple…
….but the temple was sealed.
He was going to need an advanced mind for this one.
TO BE CONTINUED (I'm probably gonna)
Don't worry, the moodulator is in a drawer now where it won't bother anyone.
Did you know that they made a live-action Kim Possible movie? I guess they decided to continue the series...well, sort of.
In the next chapter, Monkey Fist will return.
I had an idea for a chapter or two starring him.
And yes, so will the Kimono Twins.
And the monkey ninjas!
Do you think creating a device that changes people's emotions would be an interesting experiment? Experiments can get out of control though.
Ron is also going to try babysitting Phineas and Ferb, because he figures that
